Davids Crock Pot Roast Or Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Place meat in slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and pepper; pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with flour mixture. Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, onion, beef broth, potatoes, carrots, and celery.
• Cover, and cook on Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on High setting for 4 to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
• Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
• Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

Steps:

• Place the meat in the crock pot and set to low. Mix the seasoning packet, creole seasoning, and enough water to cover the meat and pour inches Cover and cook the meat 3 hours.
• After 3 hrs., add the carrots, potatoes, onion, and more water, about 1/2-1 cup and stir. Place the lid back on and cook until the potatoes are tender.
• Place the mushrooms in the crock pot after cooking the potatoes. Do NOT stir (this steams the mushrooms). Cook until mushrooms are desired level of done.
• Remove all meat and vegetables to a large bowl. Pour all the liquid into a large pot; add the water and bouillon cube.
• Using your favorite thickening method, make a gravy from the liquid. Pour back into the crock pot and add the meat and veggies back inches.
• Keep on low until ready to serve. I serve with bread for dipping into the gravy.
